I think the CT list is a great idea since there are probably many CT
fans who are not necessarily into 4ad as a label (I know one of them myself),
and with the band-specific list, they could do the whole sharing-info-
through-a-listserv thing without having to wade through all the non-Cocteaus
posts.
The jwgrote_cocteau list is going great so far, IMO; I think it
should be given a chance to develop further.

hi -
i created this cocteau twins list last week because i like them a lot and
i can't take the high volume of mail on the 4ad list. in general, i'm
not a 4ad listener (except for ct and lush), so most of the traffic is
extraneous for me. however, i am presently (until tomorrow or so)
subscribed to the 4ad list, and i'm seeing a lot of ct traffic over there.
as i try to have a sense of netiquette, i'm concerned that the creation
of this ct list might fragment the community of ct listeners, and indeed
negatively impact the 4ad list. therefore, i'm willing to dissolve the
ct list if that's what the ct community would like me to do...
otherwise, perhaps someone would like to maintain their subscription to
the 4ad list and forward ct-related items to the ct list...?
i'd be interested in hearing from any of you...

Well, THE UGLIEST 4ad Add i have EVER seen is in the latest (Nov.)
Alternative Press. Ug, has the U$ division of 4AD have NO taste?
...there's also an interesting inclusion of the "4AD hotline: 310. 535.
1714"
The entire *In The Nursery* backcatalogue is being caried by
Projekt/Darkwave including a new release, "Scatter" It seems from the
quote that "Scatter" is a 'Best of' album.
An article about Lisa Gerard has a few interesting tidbits: LG: "I
contacted 4AD and *jokingly* [emphasis mine] said, 'How muchmondy would you
give me if I wanted to release this stuff?' And they gave me a budget ..."
also Lisa's late brother listened to Heavy Metal.

well, since you asked... i love the new album. i think it's more beth's album,
while the other two were mostly laner's, meaning the emphasis is more on the
vocals and less on the noise. they're also incredibly nice people! i talked
at length with justin and brad and briefly met beth at the show last night.
all were incredibly down-to-earth and some of the most friendly people you'll
meet. the live performances are fantastic... i've seen them twice on this tour
and hope to see them a third time. for those of you who dislike the new album,
they play a nice mix of stuff off of the three studio albums and 'lime 6' off
of the _sounds of medicine_ ep. so for those of you out west, i'd highly
recommend seeing them.

HoLV?
Well there's NO concensus that's for sure. Here's what the FAQ has to say:
to start, although some dislike its selection. The only Cocteau Twins
compilation is The Pink Opaque, which only covers the period 1982-1984 and
is also out of print and hard to find. Perhaps a good recommendation is to
cite the list's collective favorites as determined by vote in 1994. Our
favorite Cocteau Twins albums are Treasure and Victorialand, and our
favorite Dead Can Dance albums are Within the Realm of a Dying Sun and The
Serpent's Egg. You might also try the Cocteau Twins Web page, which has a
good set of reviews of most of their releases, plus some song snippets.

Unfortunately, It was only a four show "tour"; Three in the bay area and one
in LA. I read somewhere that Kozelek hates touring so, you know... I don't
know...
I was lucky enough to be able to see all three N.Cal shows and they were all
truly splendid. They played a similar set each night opening with Kozelek
solo doing a beautiful new song . Then the band joined him and they did a
jam thing that turned into Evil and then 24. Other highlights included Uncle
Joe, (except at the SF show where that one seemed to sort of fall apart)
Dragonflies, Medicine Bottle, Strawberry Hill, Katy Song. ... At the end
Kozelek did a solo camp-fire sing along thing (no amplification on voice or
guitar) including Summer Dress, Take Me Out, and Michael all punctuated by
lots of throat clearing and wrong notes/lyrics from the audience (OK, mostly
me).
Most of the new songs were pretty heavy and distorto-guitar laden, one of
them, musically, reminded me of Neil Young's Down by the River if you can
imagine that.
When he announced that they were no longer on 4AD at the Berkeley show there
was a collective moan from the audience. It made me wonder; did these people
think that it meant that there would be no more RHP records? That no other
label would sign them? That they would no longer be allowed to discuss them
on their favorite internet mailing list? ; ) No, I think it's just that 4AD
mystique, it was an interesting moment and it probably wouldn't have
happened if it involved any other label. My point? I don't know, just
something to throw out there.
Later that show Kozelek joked: "this is the song that got us kicked off
4AD." The following week in SF he explained that they, had in fact, left
4AD because the label wanted to alter the new material ; "it's good but can
you just remove the guitar solo?" (read with fake English accent) He said
that the new album was recorded and that they were still looking for a new
label. Then the " That's to clear up all the internet shit" comment.

And those are exactly the lines I thought were the most sucky. I think
that's the problem - once they become intelligible, you realise they're a
bit lame. I don't mind the other song she wrote on that album, "Miranda",
but that's because you can't make out what she's saying, apart from
"adnarim" (?). "Country Rain" on _5EP_ is pretty bad too: "and the rain
keeps on falling in my heart" - puh-leeze, that's such a cliche.

The Lillies (nothing to do with The Lilys) was just a one off and they
haven't done any other recordings and certainly no gigs (at least, as far
as I know). Presumably the name "Lillies" refers to the all white strip of
the soccer team Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs), which all the band members
support. The Lillies got together to make the song in response to the FA
Cup semi defeat of arch rivals Arsenal by Spurs. The "and David seamean
won't be very happy about that" line is part of a Barry Davies commentary
on the match.
When the flexi was released with the fanzine, I mailed a couple to list
members (hi Ken Darcovich (spelling?), are you still around?). I remember
Simon Raymonde (I think it was) saying that they just wanted to prove that
good football songs could be made like theirs and New Order's "World In
Motion" ... which kinda struck me as odd since I thought both songs were
pretty shite. Give me "Bradford City, Bradford City, you know we're gonna
win ... and never give in" any day. At least it's a good sing-a-long!

I, for one, won't be subscribing to any ct mailing list. There's
not enough ct traffic on 4AD-L to warrant yaml (yet another mailing
list).

Not "let go" so much as that they maintain(ed) that Medicine simply suck.
I'm not sure how many involved in the flame war are still on the list,
particularly in the anti-Medicine camp, and nobody who remembers it wants

The Cure has always had a thing for releasing "bonus tracks" on cassette
and leaving CD and LP buyers out in the cold. As far as I know, "Carnage
Visors" is only available on cassette, unless they have rereleased it in
the past few years. (I stopped keeping track of The Cure for the past few
years.)

Basically, Mark said that he submitted his new songs to 4AD
and they wanted him to change them, and he didn't want to,
so they parted company.
He said they wanted him to cut out all the guitar solos,
and that someone asked him who the crap guitarist was that
he hired to work on the new record. His response:
"That's fuckin' _me_!"
All the new stuff I've heard -- both at the solo show and
the band show -- has been great. I hope they find a good

Indeed. The place for CT discussions has long been the 4AD mailing list
(which I read via digest form for a very long time; much easier to deal
with the volume that way), and I don't see a lot of that focus changing
soon. In fact, when I saw the new announcement for this list, I
half-groaned. I've found most group-specific lists to be almost a waste
of time, compared to the content you (sometimes) get from lists like
4ad-l and ecto. However, I *did* sign up.
Cross-posting from list to list, however, would be a MAJOR pain for those
who belong to both, however! This is NOT a good idea.
I'm not saying shut it down; it's just that, for one reason and another,
we're probably never going to get all of the CT fans on this list and

This is all very easy to do if the list server maintainer runs
procmail on the incoming list mail spool. It can do all of these
things automatically.
Anything that doesn't slip through the keyword catcher can be
forwarded manually by those who maintain a dual presence--in that
case, assigning one or two people might be a good idea...

Which issue of select is this? I haven't heard about this song before; it
could be on Refried Ectoplasm I suppose (which I haven't got yet). Speaking
of which, anyone know of a US release date for RE?

Here's a few quotes I pulled from the press sheet:
"I suppose it is quite a minimal record, very based in acoustic tradition.
While I was writing the songs, I was listening to quite a bit of acoustic
based music, but more than that, I think we just wanted to get back to
basics, back to writing simple, emotive songs." --Neil Halstead
"After that ("Pygmalion"), Slowdive didn't so much split as take a shift
in direction, one that a couple of the other members weren't comfortable
with. It didn't seem right to carry on with the same name, we needed to
get a fresh start and all the pieces fell into place for us to get one."
--Rachel Goswell
Anyways, the release date for the album has been pushed back to Jan. 16, '96.
The band are being brought over here for press purposes in November, so you
can expect to be seeing more of them soon.
Hope this helped,
Noah

Currently, Laeticia Sadier. I think.
Is this a single? If so, what label is it on? As a faithful S-lab fan, my
interest has been piqued...

What -- HoLV?!? You've got to be kidding. That was the beginning of the
Twins' downward spiral. (sigh; it's all subjective I guess)
For my money, their best is either Treasure or Victorialand. Some of those
earlier EPs are incredible as well.
BTW, I heard some time ago about a Seefeel re-working of the entire Treasure
album... anyone know of a release date for this, or if it's even really going
to happen? Thanks,

For you Kurt Ralske fanatics out there, I have a copy of his
old band Nothing But Happiness's LP for sale. Kurt didn't sing
or write any of the songs on it, and actually it really kinda
sucks, but if there's any diehards who just *have* to have a
komplete kurt kollection you can have this for just enough to cover
the cost of my getting it to you.
Also, if the guy who promised to buy it from me before he went
on vacation doesn't get in touch with me soon, I'll also have
one more copy of the first Lilys 7" on Slumberland, blue vinyl,
for sale.

"Basically, Mark said that he submitted his new songs to 4AD
and they wanted him to change them, and he didn't want to,
so they parted company."
This really upsets me. So now 4ad is infringing on artistic integrity?!
They're turning more and more into a Soulless Megalith Record Company every
year. Gee, didn't Lisa Germano leave Capitol because of shit like this?

Hold up!!!... The tour schedule at american recordings is for last year's
european tour. I just don't want anyone to be fooled. They should really
update their stuff...but I know one thing that might be happening: an
upcoming tour with the group Garbage...however, from what I know it's ONLY
a possibility. Iv'e been checking Garbage's DGC/Geffen site to see when
they start their tour. And it hasen't happened as of yet.
Over and Out...Dave
